About this map

The West Fork Choctawhatchee River and its numerous tributaries, including Sevenmile Cr, Big Cr, and Hurricane Cr, define the landscape of this Dale County region. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed with several family burial sites, such as the Mims Family Cem, Newman Family Cem, and Lee Cem, reflecting a long-standing pattern of localized rural settlement. These small communities are connected by a network of county roads like Skipperville Rd and Mabson Rd.

Notable aviation landmarks include Blackwell Field on the outskirts of Ozark and the more secluded Hidden Springs Airpark to the north. These sites, along with the cluster of homes at Ewell and Mabson, illustrate the modern balance between small-town expansion and the enduring agricultural character of the Alabama Wiregrass region. Further south, the map details the transition into Newton, where James Crooks Lake provides a distinct water feature near the town limits.
